This juvenile rabbit was contemplating a meal of some of my coreopsis. In fact, he managed to gulp down a few until a blue jay swooped in on the feeder imitating a hawk's call. He took off like a shot. ;D Taken with Oly and Fuji.

As a teen I rescued 3 baby rabbits and took them home to Mom. Theirs has left them and they were dying. Being wild they never took to people very well. As I remember 2 did die, but one lived for a couple of years. He wouldn't let any one handle him except mom. She had a way with animals that to this day I envy.
These are wonderful pictures and the rabbit sure looks like Peter!
This is a great story picture Gary well done! I love number 3 the alertness and wariness is captured so well!

They tend not to do well in captivity, Judy... as with most things wild. I know *I* don't do well in captivity. :lol:
Thanks for your kind words.
These shots look great on my monitor Gary! But then the color and clarity of most your shots do.
Good job as usual.
JudyB: Where in the world did you come up with a name like Peter for a rabbit of all things? :D
I wondered about that name for a rabbit, too, Jim! :lol:
I know rabbits are supposed to be famous for the size of their ears, but just look at those eyes! :)
He was a typical Peter, and lived for quite a long time. They didn't have their eyes open when I got them. their Mom was obviously not coming back as they were very weak and hungry.
I love the eyes on these pictures too especially number 3.
I do agree, the eyes really make a statement. Then again, perhaps the statement was made by the artist. ;)
